FREE OF SELF THROUGH GRATITUDE

We plant the seeds for growing our gratitude when we realize the first time that we never again need to pray FOR anything.

Over the years, we have learned, and we now know, when we get to the place of our perceived need, God will be there for we, ourselves, are bringing God there. When we realize that "Oh, please, God," is just so many words, that "Thank you, Father/Mother/Moon and Stars" can be our mantra, we experience grace for we are free...free of self at that moment.

Grace here is the gut-bucket knowing, before it happens, that at the final outcome, we may well find exactly what we were dreading, what we were praying not to happen, and we will realize it for the best possible outcome for all...for all others and for ourselves, personally.

In that instant we experience gratitude at a whole new level...depth and height. We realize how much better God's outcome is always than our poor faculties can ever imagine, and we are changed by the grace of gratitude.

Thank you.
